Overview

POSTAL 2 Complete is a software program developed by Running With Scissors. It adds registry entry for the current user which will allow the program to automatically start each time it is rebooted. A scheduled task is added to Windows Task Scheduler in order to launch the program at various scheduled times (the schedule varies depending on the version).

The setup package generally installs about 62 files and is usually about 68.46 MB (71,790,608 bytes). The software utilizes the Nokia Qt cross-platforms C++ framework. Relative to the overall usage of users who have this installed on their PCs, most are running Windows 7 (SP1) and Windows 10. While about 55% of users of POSTAL 2 Complete come from the United States, it is also popular in United Kingdom and Canada.
